Stay Lyrics

When I close my eyes i hear you singing
Singing me a song
That I'll forget, I always forget

I try to trick myself back to sleeping
You pick me up
But I let you down

It was so clear but now it's gone
I couldn't keep my eyelids shut

Why can't you stay
Stay
Stay
If only i could dream we could start again
If only I could dream we could start again

When I close my eyes i see you dancing
Dancing me a song
Just out ot of reach, just out of reach

I need you in a day when I'm not dreaming
You pick me up
I don't wanna let you down

It was so clear but now it's gone
I couldn't keep my eyelids shut

Why can't you stay
Stay
Stay
If only i could dream we could start again

It was so clear but now it's gone
I couldn't keep my eyelids shut

Why can't you stay
Stay
Stay

If only i could dream we could start again
Stay
If only i could dream we could start again
Stay
If only i could dream we could start again
If only i could dream we could start again

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I have two interpretation. First is he's asleep and the girl is dead (or somewhere else, i don't know) and the second is he's dead and he is haunting the girl (based on the music video). Okay the first interpretation is every time he's asleep he dreams of this girl that he can never connect with. He dreams her dancing and singing a song but when he wakes up he would forget most of the stuff he dreamt. He tries to fall back to sleep but he fails. He fears that due to his inability to get back to sleep and remember, she would be disappointed in him. When he's with her everything becomes clear and he never wants to wake up but eventually he does wake up and forgets. The second one is he's dead and he's haunting this girl that he likes. Because he's a ghost he could never reach her. He'd always let her down because she wants him to move on but he can't. He sees the 'light' and tries to rest in peace but fails because he's always drawn to her (hence the verse :It was so clear but now it's gone, I couldn't keep my eyelids shut).
